Music Genres

Be transported to an underworld speakeasy in a bygone era when witches and black magic were rife.Using old instruments with modern elements, Jo Carley And The Old Dry Skulls bring a strange magic and a blend of styles that seamlessly transcends all barriers of time.Their songs tell stories of deals with the devil, demons in love, witchdoctors, zombies, ghosts, ghouls, journeys to the deepest jungles and other exotic adventures which are told using sweet melodies and syncopated sounds.
The music takes influence from early vaudeville, blues, calypso acts such as Victoria Spivey, Cab Calloway and Wilmoth Houdini and adds inspiration from Old Time Country, Bluegrass and Rockabilly to the likes of Bill Monroe all the way to Wanda Jackson, but adding a creepy and theatrical twist that echoes Dr John and Screamin Jay Hawkins.
"I can't take my eyes off these guys... A tremendous trio of musicians, go see them and expect the outside-of-the-box experience... there is nothing else like this band on the planet"
Stephen Harrison / Blues matters magazine 2024
